Cardiff City v Sheffield United

Cardiff have played two league games and drawn both. Wrexham were here on a Monday night, Moore after three minutes, Colwill from a free-kick in the 98th. Saturday at Derby it was 2-2, Ashford and Salech. Midweek Norwich came to the Cardiff City Stadium and went through, 2-1. Barry-Murphy said Cardiff are growing into the season.

Sheffield United sit 14th, one place below Cardiff, also on two points. Both of Sheffield United's league games have been 0-0, Birmingham at home then Swansea away. Sheffield United have not scored in the league. Sheffield United went up last season. Sheffield United have won the last six league meetings with Cardiff, including the last three at the Cardiff City Stadium. Cardiff are unbeaten in eight league games against Yorkshire sides since Bradford won here last September.

Wilder did not mince his words this week about Phil Parkinson, after Cardiff's meeting with Wrexham. Wilder has always been complimentary about Cardiff, and this week was no different. "I watched the game against Wrexham, and I don't agree with what their manager said afterwards, they had chances first half, but Cardiff took the handbrake off second half and played with a real freedom."

Will Fish is out for months after a hernia operation. Calum Chambers (knee) and Dylan Lawlor are out. Gabriel Osho trained on Tuesday and could play. Krystian Bielik signed from West Brom on Wednesday. Barry-Murphy said he will not rush him.

"On Saturday we'll be doing everything possible to take on a team who have been promoted, who have done it, and are probably expected to do it again this season, so it's the highest possible challenge for us, but it's one that we've worked to be here and we'll give it everything to try and win."
